I don't have someone to hold
every night
I used to sleep alone and I
was alright
Then I met a good man
with brown eyes
His arms felt just like
the sunshine
I'd hoped he would rock me
in my chair
I knew he would kiss me
here, and there
The waves are crashing
around, and
I'm in the eye of the storm, I
am grounded
All of my toil and tears
have founded
My path towards the light, I'm
surrounded
It's hard to take it all in,
Head's poundin'
This is all so surreal, but
I found it
I write my best lines when I
am drinking
Whether it's through tears or
wishful thinking
Ambivalence galore, but I don't feel
I'm sinking
I found it, I told you, I
am centered
I caved, cracked, something beautiful
had entered
The light shone in, the suffering
has ended
I was filled with gold, all my wounds
were mended
The ghosts haunt me plenty, but I am
tremendous
Come into the sun, babe, and
be with us
